proceeds to stare at the thing for multiple hours and only end up making minor changes that barely add any new substance

Plus:

"... mm, this wouldn't do; let's take that out..."

At the end of the day, you end up with less than what you started off with.

I've conceptualized at least 20 more political parties for my nation (no questions please I like political parties lol) for the past weeks but never put them in.

Here’s a cliche I guess that I use in my lore: Nations that realistically probably wouldn’t join together to be one country or would last very long as one country. In my lore I have one nation in which a nation corresponding to France’s West African territories unite as one country.

Congratulations, you've just Thanos-snapped Svenska-Britannia out of existence.
BRETTENWALD
Factbook completion will occur when hell freezes over and this nation is basically what happens at 3 AM when I overdose on Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Game of Thrones. Trans rights or you're getting kneecapped.
Center-right largely-absolute monarchy populated by the majority-pagan descendants of a mix of Vikings, Iron Age German rednecks and the odd shipwreck survivor coming into its own on the world stage during the final stages of a 32-year watershed moment under the watchful eye of an emperor who was never supposed to be one. Strict MT, 2021 though lore posts are generally asynchronous. Brettain is a catchall demonym, flag waifu by Polish Prussian Commonwealth, NS stats not canon.

Planning factbook refreshes/design updates and never doing them

For reference this was originally called "2021 Refresh" then "2022 Refresh" now perhaps more realistically sports the "2022 - 23" timeline.

It has ONE (1) new textbox in it after about 10 months.

That reminds me; only two of the twelve links on my factbook-as-website actually lead anywhere.

Here’s a cliche using pictures of real people to represent your characters and then procede to run with this and make it painfully obvious by saying it out right even though when you look back on it you cringe to yourself.

Yeah, Yugo-nostalgia exists. Not going to lie, it's kind of a plague in Western internet circles. But it is very easy to just group together all the South Slavs on a map and call them Yugoslavia in any given alternate-history because fuck going into actual Slavic history beyond Tito apparently.

The Germanian Empire | "Unser Vaterland, Herr der Asche..."
Factbooks | Music | Tech Level: PT/FanT | Current Year: 1942 AE

In a strange world not so different from ours, a young empire stands in the heart of Europa. Born and forged in the fires of war, and headed by an embittered Kaiserin and her ambitious generals.
